Betsy

Betsy is a big, beautiful, four year old Rottweiler mix. She is very affectionate and enthusiastic about spending time with anyone who can take her out of the kennel and go for a nice walk! Betsy is friendly with other dogs and pays no attention to the ones that bark at her as she goes by. She plays hard and would probably do better with a dog in her larger size range. Betsy likes to be in charge, but she is not aggressive. We took her out with a big goofy puppy and she wanted to educate him on her ideas of appropriate behavior! She acts very much like a mama dog, correcting but not hurting. The puppy was climbing all over her, and most of the time she really didn’t seem to care much about that. Like so many of the shelter dogs, she actually seemed much more relaxed and happy after the opportunity to walk with another dog. Betsy walks pretty well on the leash and has working knowledge of "sit” and "come.” She likes her treats and should be easy to train. Betsy would probably due better in a home with older children as she can be possessive about her food. This is a gorgeous dog that just needs a little attention and training to be a model companion.
